1854 G$1 Type One MS67 NGC
<B>1854 G$1 Type One MS67 NGC.</B></I> The mintage for the 1854 gold dollar is not as large as the preceding three P-mint gold dollar deliveries; however, the 1854 still boasts a respectable mintage of 855,502 pieces. It is not surprising, therefore, that this issue remains popular among type collectors who desire an attractive representative of James Longacre's Type One design. While the average collector would happily settle for an MS64 or MS65 example, gold specialists who pride themselves on unrivaled numismatic beauty really need to see this Superb Gem. Sharply defined in almost all areas, the surfaces exude a rich cartwheel mint frost that is very attractive. The coin also displays bright yellow-gold coloration, and the only noticeable ripples in the fabric of the coin are die clash marks in the fields. Very attractive and very desirable as a type coin in Superb condition. Census: 7 in 67, 0 finer (1/08).<BR><I>From The Southwest Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James B.
